    First time going. Food was really great, got the bread plate for an appetizer, the butter for the bread was really tasty. For the main course my wife and I split the steak board and the steak and pork chop were cooked perfectly, and seasoning was on point. Butter cake at the end was 10/10. Overall super happy with the place. The only thing that kinda threw me was the service was mediocre to not great. Server forgot our appetizer. We had to ask another server to check on it. Drink refills were checked on at the end of our meal not really during. The server just seemed kinda cold which is fine if she is having a tough day, but didn’t really keep up service wise. Small pull back to a great place, We will be back!

    Jeana was so attentive! I spilled my coke as I got up to welcome my wife. Jeana had the table cloth replaced so quickly for our special occasion. Then even refreshed it with a rose and fun sparkles! The Capital Grill team has always exceeded my expectations!

    Our server was beyond amazing. She was cheerful, informative, professional, and took initiative to make sure our order arrived with enough time to leave for our show following dinner. Additionally, all of the dishes (and beverages) we ordered were absolutely fantastic. It’s clear this restaurant knows what it’s doing, has good leadership, and the staff is happy. We’ll done, guys 👏
